THE COAL CONSPIRACY.

1t is singular what a submissive peo-
pie we Americans are, and for SO-called
free people how readily we put our
neckS into yokeS that tyrannical masters
prepare for us. When the laboring
classes grew turbulent and inaugurated
strikes and boycotts the owners of rail-
road and mining stocks appealed to the
legislatures for the passage of con-
splracy laws. The appeal was heard
and granted, and the statute books of
every state were filled with all the con-
Spiracy laws that were deemed essential
to protect the property of the railroad
proprietorS and the mine owners. AL
though some of those laws were pecu-
llarly harsh in some of their features,
public sentiment approved them because
they were believed to be essen
tial for the accomplishment of the
fundamental purpose for which all gov
eminent is established: namely, the pro-
lection of life and property. But the
singular part of it is that when the
American people are now confronted
with more damnable conspiracy and
oppressed by more ubiquitous tyranny
than labor organizations ever devised or
the discontinued labor element ever con-
iceived of, not voice has been raised i'm
advocacy of the passage of laws to crush
1t out. Everybody understands what
we are talking about, especially ev-
erybody here in the Northwest, where
we are beginning to feel the chilling
touch of the winter Billiards. We are
now speaking of the existing conspiracy
among the cool barons to rob the Amer
lean people. They call it combination
of coal owners for mutual protection, but
III fact, IT is nothing more or less than a
conspiracy to eXtort money unjustly
from the pockets of the people. 1t is a
species of robbery in comparison with
which the exploits of DICK TURPIN and
JESSIE JAMES grow respectable. We
are not referring to the local coal deal
!erS, Tor we recognize the fact that they
are unwilling instruments in the hands
of the arch cOnspiratOrs. The same in
a measure is true of the shippers. The
guilty scOundrelS are the mine owners.
who have conspired together to take
advantage OF the nece ssitieS of the peo-
pie for the purpose of extortion, and
who have forced the shippers and the
dealers into becoming tools for the exc
cution OF their plans. But the only way
to get at them is for every state to pass
Jaw making conspiracy of the character
of this coal combination a crime, and
Imposing penalty of the severest kind
upon any person who shall, Immediately
OF remotely. be engaged in carrying the
conspiracy into effect. The arch con-
spirators can do nothing without the
aid of subordinate agencies to act as
co-conSpirators in the execution of this
Ubiquitous system of robbery.
When we know that coal can be
mined and delivered here in st. Paul
for 81 a ton and still leave good profit
to the owners, while we are forced to
pay 50 and $40 a ton for it, and then re-

THOSE DEPOT SH EDS.

The information furnished the cham
Der of commerce last week by the union
depot officials, relative to the public de-
mand for decent covering over the
platform, was not of the most
satisfactory character. 1t was in
substance a simple statement that
the union depot authorities were
not in position to comply with
the popular demand, nor was there any
lntimation that they ever would be in a
hurry about it. The rickety old shed
now there is not only disgrace to the
depot but it is a reproach to the city.
Its ugliness and unntness is made all
the more conspicuous by comparison
with the elegant awning over the
union depot platform in Minneapolis.
1t is no wonder that our st.
Paul people have become worked
up over it, and that the chamber of COM
merce made formal request of the
depot authorities to replace the un-
slightly sheds now in use by something
that would be creditable, as well as
comfortable. 1t is to be regretted that
the union depot directors do not
see the matter in the same light that
everybody else sees it, and do not pos
sess pride enough in an establishment
for which they are largely indebted to
the generosity of st. Paul to prevent it
from becoming chronic eyesore to the
people of the city. The enterprise and
public spiritedness of our ST. Paul people
are phenomenal, and it is possible they
will devise plan by which the city will
have depot not to be ashamed of.

A party of select sports numbering
about 80 witnessed a terrific battle be-
tween the dogs Duke and Jessie yester-
day afternoon. The party assembled at
Seven corners and drove via the Fort
Smelling ferry to point in the woods
one mile west of Mendoza. where the
CANNES were loosed. The fight was a
'.go-and-stay'' for a purse of $500 and
the receipts, which netted about 800.
Duke appeared to be the better dog. and
seemed to have the best of the fight for
time, but he lacked the pluck of his
antagonist, and after twenty-eight min
uteS of hard fighting, turned tail and re-
fused to scratch" when the time came,
leaving Jessie the victor. Both dogs
were III prime condition, Duke weighing
4215 pounds, and Jessie 39J5. At the
conclusion of the fight the owner of
Duke sold the dog.

What Might Be Said.

La crosse chronicle.
The Minnesota state prison investiga-
ton gets more unsavory every day. 1t
looks as if all hands would get smirched
before the Investigation is over. 1t
would not be fair to call it Republican
smut machine, but we can't help think
ing that if it was in Democratic state
how the smut machine of that party
would be celebrating it in all its dirty
details as Democratic corruption. 1t
makes no difference about the politics
in this case. but the evidence shows the
necessity of a better system of super
vision of all state institutions, especially
in states long dominated 10y one political
party. There is where the rot creeps
in. They have it all their own way, and
grow bold in their cusSedness.

1t seems as if the GLOBE was not fully
aware Of the Importance it bears to the
people of the Northwest or the hold
which it has upon their favor and
esteem. The enormous edition of Tues
day morning was exhausted almost be-
fore the people of the city were fairly
astir Oh the streets, and thousands of
those who were DESTROYS of obtaining
additional copies of their favorite paper
were doomed to disappointment from
the unusual and unprecedented demand
which the occasion of the presidents
visit created. If anything were neces-
Sary to further demonstrate its popu-
Iarity to its manager and his assistants
the experience of Tuesday ought to be
sufficient, and the paper itself will not
soon be forgotten by those who were so
fortunate as to secure copy. Of all
the great papers of the land none have
eyer been produced to compare with the
GLoBE OF Oct. II, and in point of fact
it had no competitor on that day in
America. There is nothing strange
about it either. The great Northwest
can produce the best of anything, from
the bandsomest woman to the hand
soinest newspaper, and she is getting
record for it, too.

AN ESTEEMED PASTOR.

Among the savage clan
OF cannibalist people
A missionary man
Set up his modest steeple.
And there each day he would
Pursue his noble labors:
He taught them to be good,
And babe them love their neighbors.
The cannibals with grins
Gave ear to themes he treated:
They crossed their tawny shins
And on their hams were seated.
And yet they were not lost
That missionary's labors;
He taught them to his cost
The way to love their neighbors.
For one day when for prayers
These cannibals they met him,
They caught him unawares:
They killed him and they ate him.
They said they found him good:
He'd practiced what he taught them.
And now they understood
TIE goodness he had brought them.
And a. they filed each nav,
They said, while they eplored him.
They'd loved him, live and raw.
But roasted they adored him.

ANENT REED AND SToRD0CK.
Bad for Mr.. stordock.

Waseca Herald.
If anything were wanting to show the
incompetency of Mr.. StOrdock for the
position of warden of the state prison,
the recent investigation has supplied
the want. If StordOck had been compe-
tent for the position he occupies he
never would have allowed inscriptions
newspaper reporters to interview noto-
rious outlaws and liars, under his
charge, for the purpose of defaming the
character of another. 1t is too late now
for Mr.. Stordock to say these witnesses
lie. He was willing enough to believe
these filthy beings and put the state to
great expe nse in spreading all these
falsehoods upon the record so long as
iex-Warden Reed was the victim, but
when the cess pool of filth and perjury
is turned upon him, he squirms. Moth
ing can be clearer, to our mind, than
that Stordock should be retired and some
man more competent put in his place.
II Stordock had been man of sense the
prison filth of Saltwater would never
have been dumped upon the whole peo-
pie of the state.
